Abstract

The study analyses, experimentally, the vulnerability of springs emerging from carbonatic hydrostructures of the Central Apennine. In particular, the Majella Mountain was studied as sample hydrostructure. The observations carried out over a period of two years show that: they dynamic resources of basal springs are essentially due to the melting of snow; different circuits are present, some of which deriving from superimposition of basal and shallow circuits; the circulation times permit to evaluate the vulnerability of the springs that is nevertheless high, despite the variability.
